"Something we haven't experienced in centuries, is that the greatest power in the world does not share our values. This is the world we're heading towards as China grows in power."

    I'm seeing him in a better light than I used to but I still think a lot of things could have gone wrong since his reforms. Maybe I should read up on it a bit more.

      Well he himself did expect and was content with future generations seeing him as a "not clearly correct and good" figure

      I would be quite content if I myself could be rated 50/50 in merits and demerits. But one thing I can say for myself: I have had a clear conscience all my life. Please mark my words: I have made quite a few mistakes, and I have my own share of responsibility for some of the mistakes made by Comrade Mao Zedong. But it can be said that I made my mistake with good intentions. There is nobody who doesn’t make mistakes.
